     12 // Global variables are constant pointers that refer to hunks of space that are
     13 // allocated by either the VM, or by the linker in a static compiler.  A global
     14 // variable may have an initial value, which is copied into the executables .data
     15 // area.  Global Constants are required to have initializers.
